This is the heaviest tire I've hauled out yet. I removed it from the river a month ago and left it on the bank, as I didn't feel strong enough to roll it up the slope through the bushes by myself.

So I went back today with a sharp hacksaw, to see if I could cut it up and carry it up in pieces. But the rubber was too hard, and the rims re-inforced with steel mesh.

So I grunted it up by hand. It fell over twice, and I was drenched in sweat, but I managed to make it up to the walkway. It was a short roll to the tire pile from there.

I met a former colleague on the trail who was kind enough to take my picture.
